Google Tech Tips & Tricks

Google is the most widely used search engine on the Internet, by a landslide. We all know that, but how many of us know about Google's features beyond basic searching?

Google is much more than a search engine. Using Google, you can perform calculations. Try typing "1+1" and you'll see the result. Better yet, type "1mi to km" and you'll see how many kilometers are in a mile. Useful, quick and available to every computer online.

There is a plethora of useful gadgets, widgets and tools made freely available by Google. For instance, check out Google's Browser Size Tool, and enter a website address to view what percentage of users can see what information on the page. You can also read about some of the experiments that the engineers at Google have been working on to keep up to date with all the latest advancements.
